Hey, just think. We all get to do this again tomorrow night! And the next night too! Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel. And, just like Groundhog Day, it will probably have the same kind of ending. Just hope if we lose it gets here sooner than 11 innings.

Just when I thought we had come up with every conceivable way to gag a game in the last 2 months, we get Willie Mayes Hayes-ed by a sprinting baserunner in the 11th inning after being up 2 with 2 out and nobody on in the 9th. To quote Ron Burgundy, "I'm not even mad. That's amazing."

Unless you're still up 4 in the ninth cause someone on the team knows how to run the bases.

No way. Up 2 in a very important game after being up 5 earlier, your All Star closer is supposed to get the job done. Plus it's not like he got beat by some BS broken bat singles or something. He got taken to dead center on a meatball. Just can't happen if you have real playoff aspirations.

^Bingo.^ I think I'll quit while you guys are ahead with the points.

A fly ball home run pitcher is taylor made for Arlington?.....What?

This is another example of that facetiousness I talk about. As in tomlin's only weakness is he gives up lots and lots of home runs, and he goes sunday....etc, etc, etc.

What? Please explain how fly ball pitcher who pretty much leads the world in homers given up is a good fit to pitch in a small, fly ball haven like Arlington? Not to mention against a team who hits homers in bunches.
